May start working on an article in here, and see how it goes.

It doesn't hurt to give it a try. I haven't published my first piece in hubpages yet either. I just started a new account on hubpages as well. The more the merrier, as the saying goes. You know what I mean? I enjoy writing articles and doing some research on subjects for publishing.

I have been on Hubpages for a while. They don't pay well, if they pay at all. What happens, (and not only to me) is that you might hit on a topic, the so-called 'mod' will like it, will 'flag' your item so that it won't be published, steal your ideas, publish, and you will come back on, try to 'fix' your item, (which isn't 'broken') and it might be up a while, then plunge down again.
Here, you can write anything, short, long, and it's published immediately.

Not sure weather or not I will actually even publish them in there yet, I think I have about three of them started. I may use this site instead. Or may even check out this other site you are talking about, Upwork. What is that like?

@His_chariot Good for you. Upwork is a great place to do freelance work for writing or other fields like graphic design for clients in the USA and abroad. You have to take free skills tests to get more clients and invites, which is optional. You do get paid $100 or more into Paypal, if you make enough for the week, depending on hourly or fixed price projects. You just have to create a profile, fill in your resume, and send it short proposals you're interested in by the deadline. I've made $1000 with one client on a 3-month project this past summer/fall and have made $1100 in total since I joined in July.

Hope you enjoy writing really long and detailed article ...that's kinda how hubpages works.
I tried it...but they were putting me through a ....series of tests like things which i wasn't up for...so i left.
